Implications of the 375W mutation for HIV-1 tropism and vaccine development.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how different amino acids affect the HIV-1 envelope (Env) trimer will greatly help the design and development of vaccines that induce broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). A tryptophan residue at position 375 that opens the CD4 binding site without modifying the trimer apex was identified using our saturation mutagenesis strategy. 375W was introduced into a large panel of 27 transmitted/founder,...
